Wild Weather this Morning
Just to remind us that we’re in the storm season
That was quite a start to the day wasn’t it. Storm cells, thunder and lightning, heavy rain and hail and all before 8am.
The storms were caused by a major cold front coming up from the south meeting the warm air coming down from the north - and it all met somewhere over our heads.
At least Hervey Bay didn’t get quite as much rain as Maryborough did.
Even as I write this there are some more storm cells forming around Maryborough and Gympie and I think we can expect more storms in Hervey Bay this afternoon.
It’s ironic that this should happen on the day when the Minister for Primary Industries has announced four more shires are now drought declared. Gayndah and Monto are among those four.
